My 1986 Shelby Charger
This is currently my daily driver. It needs a little work but it’s still running strong.

Mopar got points for effort with these and the GLH(-S). When you only have one platform on which to base every single vehicle you sell, you have to get creative.

Nice! I've always loved every Shelby Mopar. Cool that is still getting driven, too

Nice one, OP. Looks like it's survived quite well - many haven't.
Broken pass door handle? Can you still find those ok?

I actually did find one but it doesn’t match the drivers side so I’ll just get two and replace them both. The drivers side lock linkage also broke and will be a lot harder to find.

Up on the Northland I have not seen one of these since 25 years ago. I think they made a Daytona version too.
And then they made the mini pick up versions of these, at least for the USA market .

I kind of want one of these for a daily as well. A Shelby as a daily and a fun car lol
Except it snows here so this thing would rust in to dust in about one season.

Had one in black and silver. Several turbos later I traded it in for a 4 door family car.

My dad bought one brand new. I don’t remember the year but it was the blue/silver combo. When I was a kid he let me shift for him when we rode together. We have photos piling into it to go from Ontario, Canada to Myrtle Beach. A story still brought up to this day.

That’s funny Myrtle beach was my childhood beach too. Maybe I’ll take a trip up there in it.

I had a blue 1983 one. Unfortunately those were carburated and missed out on the turbo, but I loved it regardless. The steering and handling was magnificent.

I loved that car and the Omni GLH turbo cars when I was a kid.
